MOST COMMON FAILURE CAUSES
FROM INSTALLATION OR OPERATOR ERRORS
• Pre-heater plugged in while engine is running.
• Air not bled from system (run engine until maximum system
pressure is reached before plugging it in).
• Plugged in before it is installed to see if it gets hot (trust us IT WILL).
• Tank style heater installed in the wrong physical location.
• Tank style heater not connected to the right locations.

From Zerostart: (phillips and temro)

DO NOT RUN YOUR ENGINE WHILE THE ENGINE
HEATER IS PLUGGED IN. This will create an air
bubble around the element which will then cause the
element to burn out prematurely.

So, it's your call.

As I Ride through the valleys of SUVs and riceburners, I shall fear no evil, for torque and positraction are mine. Mine eight rods, eight pistons and diesel power, they comfort me. For therein lies mine power, and glory, and salvation, forever.

I don't unplug mine until it's warmed up ready to go.
I unplug it when I go to leave. I guess since I've been doing this to this truck for 250K miles the last 7 1/2 years, I may need to check the element. j/k
